An object of the present invention is to provide a storage-stable injectable preparation comprising a composition comprising a poorly soluble drug as an active ingredient and a dispersion medium. Another object of the present invention is to provide a compact, lightweight prefilled syringe by filling a syringe with the injectable preparation. The present invention provides an injectable preparation comprising a composition comprising a poorly soluble drug, a dispersion medium, and a specific suspending agent, the composition having a viscosity of 40 pascal-seconds or more in at least one point in the shear rate range of 0.01 to 0.02 send having a viscosity of 0.2 pascal-seconds or less in at least one point in the shear rate range of 900 to 1.000 s, as measured.

The present invention provides an injectable preparation comprising a composition comprising a poorly soluble drug, a dispersion medium, and a specific suspending agent, the composition having a viscosity of 40 pascal-seconds or more in at least one point in the shear rate range of 0.01 to 0.02 sand having a viscosity of 0.2 pascal-seconds or less in at least one point in the shear rate range of 900 to 1,000 s, as measured.

This invention provides an injectable formulation to be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously that is used for the prevention or treatment of polycystic kidney disease, and that can maintain a therapeutically effective blood concentration of tolvaptan for a long period of time; and a process for producing the same. More specifically, this invention relates to an injectable depot formulation comprising (1) a particle containing optically active tolvaptan as an active ingredient and (2) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for injection, and a process for producing the same.
